Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:

Year	Cash Flow (A)				Cash Flow (B)
0	$	353,000			$	48,500
1		42,000				23,700
2		62,000				21,700
3		62,000				19,200
4		437,000				14,300

Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a 16 percent return on your investment.

a-1	What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

	Payback period
Project A	years
Project B	years

a-2

If you apply the payback criterion, which investment will you choose?

	Project A
	Project B

b-1	What is the discounted payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

	Discounted payback period
Project A	years
Project B	years

b-2

If you apply the discounted payback criterion, which investment will you choose?

	Project A
	Project B

c-1	What is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

	NPV
Project A	$
Project B	$

c-2

If you apply the NPV criterion, which investment will you choose?

	Project A
	Project B

d-1	What is the IRR for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

	IRR
Project A	%
Project B	%

d-2

If you apply the IRR criterion, which investment will you choose?

	Project A
	Project B

e-1	What is the profitability index for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)

	Profitability index
Project A
Project B

e-2

If you apply the profitability index criterion, which investment will you choose?

	Project A
	Project B

f.	Based on your answers in (a) through (e), which project will you finally choose? Project A or B
